What book has most influenced your life for good? Can you tell why in 5 sentences or less?

The BIBLE is my favorite book. I have read it cover to cover once a year for more than 20 years, and I always find something new and alive in it. The stories tell me it is OK to be flawed and human. God's ideas work better than mine and without reading them, I would never come up with them on my own. --Martie
